Gold Standard of Documentation

Is your documentation meeting the ‘Gold Standard’?

The Gold Standard of documentation is when another provider can read the notes, clearly identify the service, and perform the service based on what was documented.

Good documentation practice includes:

1. Maintaining accurate and complete medical records and documentation of services you provided.

2. Ensuring the claims submitted for payment are supported by the documentation.

3. Good documentation practice ensure your patient received appropriate care from you, and other providers who will use your records for patients past medical history.

If you are experiencing insurance claim denial, staff spending too much time trying to get claims paid, and patients asking why their claims have not been paid then American Acupuncture Council Network (AACN) is your solution.

There is a reason acupuncturists have trusted AACN with their business for over 30 years.
